INTRODUCTION

IHE CRAFTSMAN BUNGALOW BOOK is designed to present to those interested in home building the very 
'highest types of bungalows adapted to the cooler climates of the North and East. This book is unique in the 
fact that while every design or plan shown is a true bungalow, none of them is subject to the handicaps 
found in the California types, which make no provision for basements, heating plants, and other necessary 
utilities without which a Northern home is a failure. It is arranged for the purpose of showing, by illus¬ 
tration, floor plans and word descriptions the attractive and comfort-giving features of the Craftsman 
Bungalow. Many residents of the temperate zone look with envious eyes upon the cozy bungalows of 
California, while they bemoan the apparent fact that such a type of house would be anything but home¬ 
like in cooler climates, with no basement for heating plants or other features of primary importance in a locality where 
the winters are cold or wet, as in the Northwest and East. To show them that the bungalow type may be adapted to any 
climate, we have taken the latest designs and arranged the plans for this climate so they will give the greatest degree of 
satisfaction to the bungalow owner. Realizing some years ago the certain popular demand now being felt for smaller and 
more convenient houses, we have made a specialty of designing and building these homes in the Northern states and with a 
success which has been a matter of pride not only to the owners but ourselves as well. Of late other architects have taken 
up the subject, forced to meet the demand as best they could, whether or not they were familiar with the needs of their 
sections. They have gone so far in their eagerness to meet all wishes as to apply the term bungalow to many crude altera¬ 
tions of cottages or even more substantial types of residences. 

The designing of an artistic bungalow of the true type requires as much skill and education as does any other branch 
of the architect’s work. The man with the experience and training is the one to give you the best results. All of the de¬ 
signs in this book are bungalows pure and simple. Most of them are our own ideas. They are only a few of the many designs 
on hand, but they will serve to show you something of the concentrated beauty, convenience and comfort to be obtained 
from owning a real Craftsman Bungalow. 

Our estimates of cost, while applying in this city, may be above or below the cost elsewhere, depending on the differ¬ 
ence in price of material and labor of all kinds in various parts of the country. Owing to the fluctuations of the labor and 
material market at the present time it is impossible to prepare estimates which will meet with these conditions at all times. 
The estimates of cost of construction in this book cover all labor and material complete, with the exception of heating plant, 
and are based on the following schedule of prices: 


COMMON DIMENSION 
LUMBER $25.00 PER M 

FINISH LUMBER 60.00 PER M 

CEDAR SHINGLES 3.25 PERM 


FIR LATH . 3.50 PER M PLASTER. 

CEMENT 3.25 PER BBL CARPENTER LABOR 

COMMON BRICK . 18.00 PER M COMMON LABOR . 


18.00 PER TON 
6.50 
5.00 


MASONRY LABOR 
PLUMBING LABOR 
PAINTING LABOR 


8.00 

8.00 

7.00 


Labor is all figured on an eight-hour day. 

If the exterior and floor plans are suitable, a more or less expensive material may be used to get practically the same 
results, when the cost figure does not satisfy. A few minor changes in plans can be made to suit individual tastes without 
changing the outside appearance and without the great expense of re-drawing.

Our plans are practical working drawings, complete in every detail, and ready for any good carpenter, mason or 
builder to go ahead with the work. At the prices quoted, both for special and stock plans, we furnish two copies of com¬ 
plete blueprint plans, consisting of %-inch scale drawings of foundation, first and second floor plans (in two-story houses), 
four elevations and large scale details of all interior fixtures, such as fireplaces, arches, kitchen cabinets and other finish 
features. Typewritten specifications to supplement the drawings are enclosed to cover the general conditions of the con¬ 
tract, such as the excavation, masonry, carpentry, plastering, hardware, electrical work, plumbing, tinting, painting and 
other details.

design for you, incorporating your own ideas. In this way you can get exactly what you want. It is our aim to give the

619—An exterior which is practically a duplicate of that shown on page five and a 
plan arrangement that is very similar but on a slightly larger scale. Two rooms—namely, 
den and child’s room—are provided in this plan which are not to be found in plan number 
467, and by the provision of a few more windows the child’s room could very easily be 
used as a sleeping porch if so desired. A glance at the living room interior shown on this 
page will give one an idea of the splendid opportunity offered in the fine large rooms. The 
difference of six feet in width between this home and its prototype has certainly been used 
to advantage as can be readily seen in a comparison of bedrooms. The attic plan calls 
for a division of the space into two bedrooms, sleeping porch and generous closets.

467—This is a style of bungalow that is becoming very popular in the Western 
states. The lines of the house are very graceful and the whole effect is very attractive. The 
design calls for brick veneer to the height of the watertable with sawed shakes above. The 
brick-faced porch and chimney give the building a substantial air of plenty, borne out by 
the very liberal lines of the house. The living and dining rooms are connected by a wide 
opening, which may, if desired, convert them into practically one room. There are two 
bed rooms with small halls, each with a door leading to either the kitchen or bath room. 
Perhaps the most attractive feature of this design is the large breakfast room, which opens 
from the pantry and dining room and so arranged that it has windows on three sides.

322—While varying somewhat from what one would ordinarily term bungalow, 
this design has several points of merit. The light and cheerful aspect of the cement plaster 
forms a pleasing contrast with the dark red brick pilasters. The house is very conveniently 
arranged, and each bed room is provided with a clothes closet and lavatory. Access is 
had to the bath room through a hall, which is lighted and ventilated by a skylight. The 
dining room is paneled to a height of the plate rail, above which in square forms extend 
quaint Dutch figures around the room.

71 2—One of the most practical types of American home, very popular in all sections 
of the country, combining the low pillared porch and long sloping roof effect so much to be 
desired with a wide dormer which gives full eight-foot ceiling height in all rooms on second 
floor. For the large family it is doubtful if a better or more attractive plan could be found. 
The entrance is into a reception hall, off which are the living rooms and dining room, both 
of ample size. Back of the living room is a sun porch with windows completely filling 
two outside walls. If your lot has a rear view this will be another point in favor of this 
design. The kitchen is very well located and laid out and between the kitchen and sun 
room is the downstairs bedroom. The basement stairs leading from rear porch are so 
arranged that a grade entrance is possible. The second floor plan calling for four bed¬ 
rooms, bath and sleeping balcony is hard to beat.

337—A story and a half house of very pleasing proportions and carefully thought 
out, different detail. Note the extra wide verge boards and rich, heavy moldings. The 
first story is shingles in alternate courses. The second story is cement plaster on galvanized 
metal lath. The curved hood over the front entrance and the balcony effect of the second 
story windows break up an otherwise rather plain wall. Three large, well planned rooms 
are provided on the first floor, with splendid outlook on all sides. The upper floor, reached 
from the reception hall, has fine bedrooms and another room which can be used either as 
a bedroom or sleeping porch. The bathroom is placed where it is handy to all rooms, as 
well as economical for plumbing. The house proper is 33' 0" wide and 33' 0" deep. 


An attractive bungalow is a good investment.

327—This eight-room bungalow is of a type which we may call medium cost and large accommodation. The design savors 
of great substantiality, notably in the foundation walls and the granite rubble of the porch work and chimneys. The little note 
of half timber which shines in gables is a very pretty note. The disposition of the various rooms is good, and a room, the library, 
is provided which can be used as a bed room if the size of the family necessitates. Upstairs are two large bed rooms, each 
having its own light and roomy closet, the bath room and storage space under the eaves.

323—We show here a very popular design for a cement plaster bungalow, roofed 
with imitation Spanish tile made from galvanized sheet iron. While the first cost of such 
a roof is somewhat higher than shingles, when one considers the saving in the continual 
upkeep of expense of a shingle roof the ultimate cost of a more permanent material will 
be seen to be no higher. The rooms are larger than are ordinarily found in a bungalow 
and are arranged for convenience.

634—THE AEROPLANE TYPE 


















Estimated cost . $4,500.00 

Price of plans as shown or reversed 15.00 



634—In design this is a good example of that known on the Pacific Coast as the 
aeroplane type, and its style of architectural treatment, its many curved rafters, ridges and 
brackets is derived from the architecture of Japan and China. 1 he “curve” idea has been 
carried out very consistently and just far enough, as a study of the exterior will convince. 
The cobblestone work in this house is of the very best. In plan this is one of the best 
arrangements for five rooms. A splendid living room opening to two porches, the side 
porch being in reality a carriage entrance, a dining room, kitchen, two bed rooms and 
bath. Note the large closets and the way the stairs have been schemed to take up as little 
room as possible. 1 he second story, which we are unable to show for lack of room, has 
one bed room or dressing room, and a large sleeping porch open on three sides. 


“One need not necessarily be rich to give grace and charm 


to his habitation” — Wagner.

249—Elaborate both as to the outside and inside design, this bungalow will attract 
the better class of house owners not only by its pretentious appearance but by ^he features 
of the interior, which include a cozy vestibule and reception hall, fireplace in both living 
and dining rooms, a buffet in the last named room, and, best of all, a breakfast room 
practically enclosed in glass, available to the kitchen with the same easy access as the 
dining room. The exterior of the house employs cobblestones and brick on the front 
with artistic effect, while the dark woodwork with its lighter trimmings makes a pleasing 
background for the house. The reception hall leads into the commodious living room, 
which practically extends from the front of the house to the breakfast room in the rear, 
with a huge fireplace exactly in the center.

419—This is one of the extreme type of bungalows, and wherever built it cannot 
help but attract a great deal of favorable comment. The very exterior of the house spells 
comfort. The use of cobblestones of assorted size and color for the fireplace and porch 
walls adds a pleasing touch to the exterior. The interior is about as conveniently arranged 
as is possible to plan a bungalow. Every room has a clothes closet and a pass hall 
connecting with the bath. The dining room has beam ceilings and paneled wainscoting. 
The plumbing in this house is especially well arranged; in being grouped together it can 
be installed at a smaller cost than is general in bungalows.

357—A one and one-half story home of unusual merit. Five splendid rooms and 
sleeping porch of good size, containing all the latest conveniences, in the way of built-in 
features. Note the practical arrangement of breakfast nook, ironing board and cabinets; 
also the buffet and inviting fireplace. The downstairs hall will save steps. Fine roomy 
closets are provided in abundance. The open balcony makes a comportable upstairs porch. 
The basement, under the entire house, is fitted up for laundry, furnace and fuel rooms and 
fruit storage. Four-inch cedar siding as the exterior wall covering lends a distinctive appear¬ 
ance to this attractive home.

358—A large house attractively designed for a corner lot. Thirty-six by forty feet 
in its over-all dimensions, this house requires a lot at least sixty feet in width to set it off 
properly. Six fine rooms on the first floor, arranged so that the den can be used as a 
bed room if required, with access to hall through coat closet, without entering the reception 
hall. The hall connects all rooms, doing away with the necessity of disturbing your guests 
in living room or dining room when answering the front door bell. French doors are hung 
at all wide openings to living room, dining room and den; and the door from reception hall 
to rear hall is also a glass door. An immense buffet is provided in dining room against the 
inside wall. Several additional rooms can be placed on the second floor. 



A wise builder buys good plans . 


































































































































524—Another extremely popular design of five rooms on the ground floor with two 
bed rooms, one 1 4 by 14 feet, the other 1 0 feet 6 inches by 1 4 feet, and sleeping porch 
of ample size on the second floor. The fireplace is enclosed in an ingle nook with seats on 
either side. Large, roomy closets are provided for all the bed rooms and the bath room 
is located convenient to all rooms. The plan calls for a brick flue in the kitchen for kitchen 
range and laundry stove. The furnace flue is in the fireplace chimney.

758—This home, the plan on the left, designed to fit 
the exterior shown on page twenty, gives the same number of 
rooms in practically the same plan with one essential change, 
namely, that of providing for a stairway to the second floor 
in the front of the house. Other changes are the elimination 
of ingle nook in front of fireplace and the addition of an 
immense buffet to the built-in features of the house. The 
second floor provides two bed rooms and a sleeping porch. 
The outside wall covering is cement stucco. 


351—Another plan for the same house, only on a 
much smaller scale, calling only for the five rooms on the 
main floor in a ground space 24 by 40. We have kept all 
the main features of the original house and have shown a 
plan that will become very popular. Note the neat “Pull¬ 
man diner” provided. If one desires a still less expensive 
home on this type, they are referred to number 747 on 
page 92.

I I 8—This seven-room home is twenty-four feet by forty feet on the ground. By 
the clever use of several very ordinary materials, each in its proper place and broad 
horizontal lines, an appearance of breadth is given which is further enhanced by the many 
roofs, every one legitimate. The basement walls to a watertable placed at the window 
sill of the first floor are covered with four-inch cedar siding. Above this are shingles laid 
four inches to the weather. The gables are of pebble dashed cement stucco, paneled with 
narrow wood strips. The seven rooms are well placed. The four living rooms are closely 
connected on the first floor, while the three bedrooms are grouped about the bathroom 
hall on the second floor. Large closets are provided for all rooms and two linen closets 
are also provided.

346—This is another very pretty Dutch Colonial with the porch more on the con¬ 
ventional order. With attractive bay windows in the main rooms this house is better suited to 
a corner lot than the one shown on page 23. The plans call for six rooms, not counting the 
sewing room. The living room is entered directly from the porch, while the dining room 
is found to the right, separated from the living room by two French doors, affording a 
chance to secure privacy without destroying the openness so much desired in the modern 
house. Note the stairway arrangement. The upper floor can be reached either from the 
living room or kitchen by the same stairs—a splendid feature. The porch at the rear with 
French doors from dining room should give a vista over the garden, or perhaps you have 
some large body of water or range of mountains offering an ever-changing panorama of 
which you never tire. 


Study your surroundings; they are important. 


PAGE TWENTY-THREE 















































354—One of the newer styles in houses. This six-room house is a characteristic 
development of the Colonial ideas to the true bungalow plan. The attractive stoop, flanked 
with neat benches, is very inviting. The lover of flowers is provided with substantial win¬ 
dow boxes to add beauty to the home. The Pergola Terrace is planned for privacy, and 
is in a position to be used as an open-air dining room; it is not very often that this feature 
is so readily available. Strictly a one-story home, there is no provision made for additional 
rooms. The kitchen is a model, and is so arranged that ventilation can be obtained from 
three sides, which is a splendid feature.

347—This is probably the best Dutch Colonial design we show. Holding as it 
does to the best traditions of true Colonial design, the elevation is perfectly symmetrical, 
the front door is exactly in the center, side lights and seats are provided on either side of 
the old-fashioned hooded stoop, and the triple windows in dining room and living room all 
helping to carry out the scheme, present a very pleasing appearance. And inside the house 
we find six dandy rooms. The living room with the cozy alcove completely filling one side 
and the dining room and kitchen the other. Hie stairway going up from the reception 
hall lands in the pass hall on the second floor, and from this hall open the three bedroom 
and the bathroom doors. The pergola over the driveway is a very pretty treatment that 
can be omitted if necessary owing to size of lot.

466—One test of the popularity of a bungalow is the number of people who have 
built in a similar style In our city it is built with many variations in the detail of interior 
arrangement. The porch is of course the original and attractive feature of this bungalow. 
If properly constructed, the gable on the roof is a great success, but the plans must be fol¬ 
lowed very carefully. Although the ceiling in the second story is low, ample room is pro¬ 
vided for two small chambers and a sleeping porch. The exterior is sided with sawed 
cedar shakes laid 12 inches to the weather and stained a dark gray, which forms a striking 
contrast to the white trim of the smooth woodwork. This is one of our very best houses.

342—This beautiful design is a sister to the most popular house in America, and 
while differing from her sister in some essential properties, has many advantages in her 
own name that well repay careful consideration. The porch piers and buttresses are 
finished with sand sprayed cement stucco. The house is sheathed with wide and narrow 
boards of rough siding. The porch floor is cement. Parts of the exterior that are worthy 
of study are the attractively different window casings, the unique gable trim and the cut 
of the Swiss brackets. The plan calls for six fine rooms with numerous closets. The three 
bedrooms are all closely connected by the hall, off which are the dining room and pantry 
as well as the bath room. More than the usual amount of cabinet space is provided and 
the cooling cabinet and refrigerator are given space in the rear entry. 


We take great pride in our special plans .

Very pretty, is it not? And it is as substantial and durable as it is pretty. Five fine, 
large rooms are provided. The cobblestone fireplace is in the end of the living room. 
The dining room has a built-in buffet as well as a china closet and is paneled five and one- 
half feet high. A commodious pantry is provided which will no doubt appeal to a large 
number of housewives. The pergola pillars are cement stucco on common brick, which 
assures a lasting job.

596—The story and a half of the elevation has lent itself to a very pleasing treat¬ 
ment. With alternate coursed shingles, stained silver gray, white painted trim and the red 
burlap texture of the brick, we have a combination that is hard to beat. The flaring 
skirting below the heavy watertable relieves a design which otherwise might by some be 
considered too severe. In this plan we have the sleeping quarters entirely separated from 
the living room and by the same token have made it possible for one to go from front to 
rear of house or upstairs, without passing through any of the rooms. Upstairs we have 
sufficient space for one large bedroom, a smaller one and a sleeping porch.

4 ] 8—This bungalow is a perfect example of bungalow architecture, and has proved 
to be one of the most popular styles ever designed. The unique feature of the exterior is 
the introduction of cobblestones for the massive porch columns. The well-proportioned 
roof and wide overhanging eaves lend an individuality to this design that has met with favor 
in every part of the United States. The shingles are laid in alternate courses and stained a 
golden brown to complete the scheme. The principal rooms of this house are models of 
convenience and comfort. The dining room has beam ceiling and panel walls, with a large 
built-in buffet. The bed room arrangement is good and affords ample closet space.

459—The light and cheerful aspect of this bungalow appeals to old and young 
couples alike. There is a cosy old-fashionedness about the exterior that catches the more 
sedate, while the wealth of light and sunshine from the multitude of windows unite to make 
the interior most pleasing and attractive. It is a cheerful little house with a homey arrange¬ 
ment and porch effects. The rough sawed cedar shakes and casement windows and other 
bungalow features are here prominent. Concrete blocks are here used for porch pedestals 
and the steps are cement. The rear porch is of ample size and can be used as a breakfast 
room if so desired on warm summer days.

204—A cobblestone chimney and porch pillar combine with the pergola on one side 
and bay window on the other to give this bungalow a cozy, yet distinctive appearance. 
The den with its broad seat in the bay window is an ideal place for a lounging or rest 
room. The living room fire is in view and the wide entrance to the dining room helps to 
extend the vista to the buffet 35 feet away. There are three bed rooms in this house, all 
opening into the hall leading to the large bath room. The closet provision for the house 
will impress the wife at once. There is a towel closet in the bath room, one for linen in 
the hall, three for clothes in the bed rooms and a broom closet in the kitchen. The interior 
is well planned, and it is the utilization of every inch of space for some handy purpose that 
makes this and other bungalows so popular as homes. 


Have the housewife's workshop complete (it improves the cooking).

223—This is a roomy house with no ginger-bread effects, yet altogether a pleasing 
shingled exterior. Two outside closets, three bed rooms, with another room available 
upstairs, show something of the excellent manner in which the bungalow is designed. The 
brick-faced porch and chimney give the place a substantial air of plenty, borne out by the 
liberal lines of the house. The living and dining rooms are connected by a wide opening 
which may, if desired, convert the two into practically one room. The cellar stairs are 
beneath the flight leading to the upper floor. Perhaps the most attractive room of the house 
is the dining room, large and cheerful with its huge bay window, its heavy beam ceiling 
and cozy buffet niche, which gives additional space for table and chairs.

210—A two-story house whose exposed rafters, wide eaves, rustic siding and clinker 
brick porch supports and columns give it the bungalow air, is shown here for the family 
which prefers the sleeping rooms on the second floor. The exterior trim includes caps over 
the windows and a ledge extending across the full width of the porch. The entry hall has 
an attractive staircase and landing leading to the second floor. A passageway takes one 
directly into the kitchen if desired. A wide opening with a charming arch connects living 
and dining rooms, permitting the warmth of the corner fireplace to permeate both. The bath 
and bed rooms are on the second floor, the stairs ending in a hallway on which these rooms 
all open. There is opportunity to make a private servant’s room of the storage space under 
the front eaves by cutting in a skylight or installing a dormer window. 




Bed room windows should give light to your dressing table .

300—With attractive double gables and striking contrast of stone terrace and shingled 
exterior, this is a typical southern bungalow, adapted to cold climatic conditions. It is a 
genuine surprise as to size, having six large, well-arranged rooms with not a foot of waste 
space. The fireplace, flanked by book shelves and window seat, is an ornament both within 
and without, its outside brick chimney affording an ideal footing for climbing vines. The 
terrace of dressed stone must be seen to be appreciated fully. A fine idea, that of having 
the laundry trays on the enclosed back porch. The closet space is extended rather than 
cramped by this porch. Think of it, a closet for every room. There are four large and 
two small closets, one for coats and hats off the living room and for linen off the hall 
leading into the bath room.

41 5—This small and attractive home has been very popular everywhere. The photo¬ 
graph fails to do justice to its real beauty. The outside is a combination of the rustic 
siding and clinker brick. The house being on the more extreme bungalow order, finds 
especial favor in communities building the cottage style of houses. A more convenient 
plan can not be found. The buffet in the dining room is larger than in most small houses, 
being five feet wide. The fireplace is of pressed brick with a cut stone shelf. A kitchen 
cabinet is designed complete, having doors and drawers below the counter shelf and a 
cupboard above built to the ceiling. There is a cement basement in this house, with a 
stairway opening from the rear porch.

465—This is certainly a most pleasing design and is a characteristic Craftsman bunga¬ 
low. The cobblestones used in the porch pedestals and fireplace are very artistic. The 
plan of the house answers all the requirements of the average small family and includes a 
large open air sleeping porch that could be finished as a bed room if desired. The buffet 
in the dining room is larger than in most bungalows, being five feet wide. It contains deep 
drawers and cupboards for the accommodation of a large quantity of china and linen. The 
fireplace mantel is of cut stone and is very massive in appearance. The large window in 
the living room is plate glass. A New Jersey man who secured the plans of this house 
describes it as the most aristocratic little home he ever saw.

356—Five rooms and bath, with entrance hall, fireplace and breakfast nook, besides 
all the other built-in conveniences our clients have come to expect. This plan is to satisfy 
a long list of would-be home builders who are still looking for the “one-and-only.” Note 
the sizes of the different rooms and the roomy cabinet space provided in kitchen, the china 
closet in dining room, and linen cabinet in hall designed to contain a clothes chute to base¬ 
ment. The exterior combines several materials and finishes. The porch walls and piers 
are of burlap, or as it is known in the East, tapestry brick. The skirting of the house is 
of wide and narrow rough siding alternate, stained. Above the water-table we find 
four-inch smooth siding painted; and the gables are finished with shingles, alternate wide 
and narrow courses, and stained a golden brown.

696—This house is peculiarly adapted to climates in which no heating plants are 
required, but where nights are so chilly that some provision must be made for warmth. 
By the aid of the three chimneys, every room in the house can be thoroughly warmed, 
either by the open fireplaces or by stoves. The exterior is very neat and consists of several 
very ordinary materials, which blended together have produced a very attractive design. 
There is more room in this house than is shown on the floor plan. The working drawings 
call for a bedroom, also a complete bathroom on the second floor, in addition to that shown. 
The den can be very readily converted into a bedroom by the use of the disappearing bed, 
or the room being of sufficient size, the fireplace can be omitted and this room becomes an 
ordinary bedroom. All rooms are of good size and the whole plan is very pleasing.

31 2—An attractive design worthy to be set upon a hill is this home of six rooms. 
Resawed siding with vari-colored brick for the large chimney, cream or white trimmings 
on a dark background of roof and house give the most effective appearance. The porch, 
protected by the gable roof, extends across the entire width of the house. The kitchen has 
a large screen porch adjoining, with stairway leading to the cellar. The bed room arrange¬ 
ment is unique, but eminently satisfactory. A small hall gives access to dining room, 
kitchen and two bed rooms. The third bed room may be used as a library or den, or 
if preferred, the removal of the partition will convert the living room into a great hall 24 
feet long and 1 2 feet wide.

324—This bungalow makes a very pleasing and inviting home in every respect. The 
fireplace and porch columns are stucco finish. Every room in the house is of good pro¬ 
portion and there is every desirable convenience. The screened porch is of good size. A 
little hallway between the bed rooms is a good feature, giving entrance from any part of 
the house to the bath. In every way we recommend this as one of our most desirable 
bungalows. There is ample room on the second floor for a couple of small chambers, as 
well as a sleeping porch in the rear.

21 I -A—Rustic siding and cobblestone effects in porch-facing and chimney are em¬ 
ployed in this cozy five-room bungalow of the most accepted type. The stone enclosure of 
the porch capped with cement, forms a wide ledge with a couple of steps alongside the 
pillars for flowers and plants. The arch extending between the corner pillars in a single 
span gives an open effect to the porch and provides space for light from without and view 
from within. This is appreciated in the big living room. The window seat at one end and 
the fireplace at the other serves to make this the most inviting room in the house. This large 
room adapts itself to the most effective style of finish and furnishings. The dining room 
is second only to this spacious room in point of attractiveness and utility. A small hallway 
enables one to reach the bath room from the bed rooms, kitchen or dining room without 
passing through the other chambers.

suggests how cozy and comfortable the interior may be made. The fireplace and porch 
columns are stucco finish; the outside is cedar shingles. The closets are all large. Every 
room of the house is of good proportion and there is every desirable convenience. The 
linen closet in the pass hall has a clothes chute leading to the basement. The basement 
occupies the space under the bed room, bath and kitchen, and is floored with concrete. 
This is a very desirable home for any locality.

338—Unfortunately our photographer was unable, owing to local conditions, to 
show the attractive side of this bungalow, but with the assistance of the floor plan, one can 
readily see a pretty design. The rather large expanse of plain roof is relieved by a gable 
dormer, just large enough to look right, and provide enough light in the attic. The little 
touch of vertical boarding in the side gables, sets off the simplicity of the shingled walls. 
The porch walls and piers are red paving brick laid up in colored mortar. The floor plan 
arrangement is very good, calling for six fine rooms of splendid size and every imaginable 
built-in feature; bookcases, china closets, buffet, ample cabinet space in kitchen, and last 
but not least, the neat Pullman diner. Properly set off by shrubbery and lawn, this 
bungalow makes an artistic home in any neighborhood.

355—The White Elephant House—No, we don’t mean that this is a drug on the 
market, far be it from such. What we do mean is that this design was picked by a 
building committee of the Women’s League for National Service as one of the most 
attractive and practical plans to be found anywhere, when they wanted to build a house 
to sell for the benefit of the Belgian and French Orphans’ Fund, and as their shop in 
our city is known as the White Elephant Shop, we have come to call this the “White 
Elephant House.’’ We have learned by experience that the “woman plans’’ as well as 
“makes the home,’’ and feel that it is unnecessary to extol the virtues of the plan, and will 
simply state that the exterior wall is clothed with shingles laid in double courses, nine 
inches to the weather, and that the porch and steps are of paving brick laid in cement.

343—There is nothing striking about the makeup of this little home, but there is an 
undescribable charm in its graceful lines and homelike appearance. The porch proper is 
covered, but there is an uncovered terrace off the porch which can be used in pleasant 
weather. The living room occupies the space behind the porch, while the dining room fills 
the balance of the front on the left. Both living room and dining room have seats in bay 
windows, while the latter has a beautiful built-in buffet. The fireplace is of good design. 
The kitchen is well equipped with cupboards and has ample space for a kitchen table if 
same is needed. Space for the refrigerator is provided on the kitchen porch. The pass 
hall connects all rooms except dining room.

541—A very practical design of five rooms. The full width of the living room is 
fourteen feet, and it reaches from one side wall to the other. The dining room has beamed 
ceiling and paneled wainscot. A sleeping porch is included in the plan connected to either 
of the bed rooms by the hall. The kitchen is of the cabinet pattern; everything used in 
the kitchen may be kept out of sight here and kept spotlessly clean.

795—An up-to-date modern and attractive five-room cottage-bungalow. We use 
this term to identify this style of home from what we come to know as the original bungalow 
of the Pacific Coast, that of wide-spreading eaves and expansive roof; and the newer 
semi and strictly Colonial types illustrated elsewhere in this volume. Seven-Ninety-Five 
partakes of the characteristics of both types, and is a home that has a style all its own. 
The water table placed at the sill line and the horizontal line of the eaves tend to lower 
the house in the mind of the passerby, without doing so in actual fact. The roof shingles 
are laid with every fifth course doubled, which helps to relieve the otherwise plain surface. 
The five rooms are of good size and very conveniently arranged.

430—An extremely popular style of building in all parts of the West. It makes a 
very pleasing and inviting home in every respect. The porch is eight by seventeen feet with 
heavy cement columns in battered forms. The living room with its low French windows 
opening on to the terrace is one of the attractive features of this design. The kitchen and 
pantry are models of convenience and contain all the necessities. The screen porch is of 
good size. A little hallway between the bed rooms is a good feature, giving entrance from 
any part of the house to the bath. In every way, we recommend this as one of our most 
desirable bungalows.

221—Unpretentious in exterior appearance, this bungalow contains a multitude of 
special features that cannot fail to win approval on every hand. The living room opens on 
both porches, one railed in with a rustic fence and the other open to the street. The mantel 
is wide and at either side are broad, inviting seats, forming a partial enclosure in which the 
family and guests may gather and toast marshmallows or pop corn of a winter’s evening. 
The dining room is provided with casement windows and the pair opening out onto the 
porch may if desired be French windows, serving as doors at need. There is a neat pass 
pantry leading to the kitchen, off which latter room a porch abuts. A hall leads from the 
kitchen to the three bed rooms and living room, with openings for linen and coat closets, 
for the cellar stairs and into the bath room.

30 1 —Overhanging eaves, a wide verge board, with heavy exposed braces and case¬ 
ment windows make the exterior of this bungalow unique and cozy in appearance. The 
stone porch leading to the heavy mission door with its great hinges, sets off the dark rustic 
woodwork. The ingle nook in the large living room is the most striking feature of the 
structure. With wide leather seats on either side and at right angles to the old English 
fireplace, the mantel of pressed brick and the sunken hearth, all unite to give charm to the 
little room separated by a graceful arch from the living room and forming a lounging den 
for men, women or children which cannot be excelled. The screen porch at the rear is a 
feature which holds the wife as the smoking nook does the husband. The kitchen is de¬ 
signed purely for business purposes and to save steps. The porch may be used for a store 
room or annex and in summer for a breakfast room.

779—For those who like the Dutch Colonial type but have a lot less than forty feet 
wide, we offer this design of five rooms. The ground area is 22 feet by 30 feet, with the 
gable end to the street. The designer has been very generous with his bays, giving two to 
the living room and one to the dining room; each has its reason for being and cannot be 
eliminated without spoiling the design in some way. In this plan we have another of those 
combination stairways serving both front and rear of the house. There is practically no 
waste space in this home—the hall at the head of stairs is only large enough to afford easy 
access to the different rooms. The exterior is cedar shingles in alternate wide and narrow 
courses. The chimney is of burlap brick.

Interior Design 31 2—This interior shows the use which can be 
made of beam ceilings. Both the living and dining rooms are beamed, 
while a wainscoting of wood may be employed with great effectiveness 
for the walls of the former. The entrance to the dining room, with its 
short, square columns and high paneling, is very attractive. The sand¬ 
stone fireplace, with ledge of stone for mantel shelf and stained glass 
windows on either side, makes a very pleasing contrast to the dark 
woodwork so prominent in the room. 


Interior Design 412—A simple but attractive interior, showing the 
use of square tile for the mantel. The interior woodwork is square 
design, and the whole is finished in a dark brown with light cream 
ceilings. The stained art glass used in the high windows on either side 
of the fireplace lends the touch of color needed to make the whole a 
most pleasing effect. The walls of this living room are tinted a deep 
tan, while the ceiling is a light cream tone. The dining room, a glimpse 
of which is had through the arch, is paneled five feet six inches high with 
slash grain fir panels capped with a plate rail.

Hints on Bungalow Building—Pointers 

Build a house which will sell readily. An attractive house will command a better price by several 
hundred dollars than the common kind, and it costs no more. 

Use the best shingles on your roof; it is false economy to use a cheap grade of roofing. Your roof 
should be as simple as possible; every valley means a weak place that might leak. 

Don’t use cheap cement or mix it weak. This is not an item of heavy expense, but a very impor¬ 
tant one. 

Closets should be put in wherever you can find available space. Cut down the size of rooms if 
necessary. 

Use plenty of windows. Glass is cheaper than lumber. Be sure and have the kitchen with sink 
right under a window. 

Have your fireplace built right. Avoid smoke and excessive discomfort by having it built accord¬ 
ing to our detail plans. 

Don’t build a bath room without outside windows or located so that it cannot be reached without 
going through a bed room or kitchen. (This is a fault with many small cottages and apartments that 
can just as well be avoided.) 

A clothes chute in the bath room is mighty handy; it can be arranged with a seat on either side 
and a locker under. 


See page three regarding special plans. 


PAGE FIFTY-SIX 














Gained by years ^Actual Experience 

Care should be used in arranging the position of your windows and doors. By all means place 
windows so that a draft may be had from any direction to air rooms. Consider the position of beds 
and other large pieces of furniture. Bed room windows should give good light to your dressing table. 

Arrange your kitchen to prevent extra steps. Don’t build an old style pass-pantry when you can 
have a neat, compact, buffet kitchen such as we put in our bungalows. 

Use good hardware on your front door and a good lock on your back door, even if you have to use 
cheap locks on inside doors. 

A cooling closet is a necessity, and should be ventilated from an outside wall. 

Don’t let your carpenter fool you into starting without detail plans. He can not execute the work 
as well without them, and the best he can do is to make a patched-up job that resembles the design. 
More than that, he has everything his own way. He may say that he will do this or that, but there are 
a hundred things, probably far more important, of which he will say nothing, but which deeply con¬ 
cern you, and these are things for which you may have to pay a fancy extra price when they should 
have been included in the original contract. Don’t be penny wise and pound foolish. You may save 
money in the beginning, but in the end lose several hundred dollars on account of not having a complete 
set of plans and specifications. 


A wise builder buys good plans.

334—This bungalow requires a lot at least 50 feet wide. It will be noticed that 
exclusive of the porches the house is 38 feet wide and only 32 feet deep. The design 
calls plainly for a rough texture and for light colors. The shingled walls are stained 
silver gray, the trim, including sash, is painted white and the roof a light green or brown. 
There are five large rooms on the first floor and sufficient height in the attic for two rooms 
and the sleeping porch.

61 7—This bungalow, built in the midst of a row of bungalows, is easily the most 
successful in plan and design of the entire row. The exterior—the repeating lines of the 
heavy piers of the porch, its brick capped wall providing fine supports for additional flower 
boxes and the exceptional treatment of the roof lines—had a great deal to do with the 
success of the design. The designer had a lucky day when he schemed out this plan, for 
he has in a space twenty-eight by thirty-eight obtained five of the largest and best arranged 
rooms we have ever seen. Every room is well lighted with the windows so placed that they 
do not interfere with the placing of furniture to the best advantage. 


Our plans include details of interior finish . 


PAGE FIFTY-NINE 





































































339—Rather unique in treatment, the long lines of verge and ridge, the different 
porch rail and the massive 8x8-inch brackets and lookouts, lend a distinction seldom seen 
in a home of like size and cost. The porch floor and steps are cement while the corner 
piers of the porch are shingled. The space under the roof is ventilated by providing a 
small gable dormer with latticed wall. Special care was taken in designing the rooms 
which go to make up this splendid five-room plan. Designing is the correct word—mere 
planning would never produce the results shown—each room is complete. No guess work 
here, not an unnecessary line drawn and not a line left out which would be needed to 
provide comfort and beauty. Economy is also thought of, one chimney serves every need.

412—In every way this is a typical Craftsman bungalow. Wide, overhanging eaves 
and extra heavy verge board make it very substantial in appearance. Cobblestones for the 
large single porch column add a pleasing touch to the otherwise plain exterior. The use 
of pressed brick with cobblestones laid in a vine design makes this massive fireplace very 
unique. The exterior is of sawed cedar shakes stained silver gray, which harmonizes with 
the white trim of the smooth woodwork and gray cobblestone. The roof, though low, has 
cross gables and is plenty high enough for a couple of small chambers and sleeping porch 
in the upper story. Opening from the living room through a single sliding door is a den, 
with a built-in wall bed, so arranged that it can be used for a bed room in case of an 
emergency. The bed room is larger than is ordinarily found in a bungalow. It has two 
windows and an alcove on one side, just large enough for a bed. Leading from the kitchen 
is a latticed porch, which can be used as a breakfast room.

243-A—Almost like a palatial cottage is the exterior of this bungalow, with its irregu¬ 
lar lines of roof taking away the small, uniform appearance found in many bungalows. 
Designed for a deep, narrow lot, the rooms are all carefully proportioned, more attention 
being paid to closet space than is usual in small homes. Shelves are provided in both of 
the large closets, as well as in the large linen closet. A Pullman diner is provided in the 
kitchen. The bed rooms are at either corner of the house, with hall connecting and bath 
room between. The living room off the substantial-looking porch has coved ceiling and 
artistic entrance to the dining room. The latter has an immense bay jutting out from the 
side of the wall, with six lights and a ledge within for flowers, or if preferred for a 
window seat.

340—The heavy brick work of porch walls and piers is probably the predominant 
feature. The large cement urns which are an integral part of the masonry work, providing 
novel plant holders, are rather unusual. Next to the brickwork, the effective treatment of 
porch soffit and the repeated vertical lines of the porch gable help take this house out of 
the ordinary class. The brackets supporting the verge boards show an interesting bit of 
band saw art. The floor plan is a marvel of compactness and utility, providing six fine 
rooms of the maximum size possible in the ground space, 24 feet by 46 feet, with the 
minimum amount of space devoted to hall. The den is a very attractive room, with 
cleverly designed fireplace, a seat and bookcases. The dining room has china closets and 
a buffet. The kitchen shows a good arrangement of cabinets.

PAGE SIXTY-THREE 




























































460-A—The exterior of this beautiful home is a strikingly attractive combination of 
vari-colored cobblestones for the walls of the porch and the fireplace, shingled walls and 
heavy brackets. The shingles are almost the natural color with light brown stain, and the 
trimmings are painted a very dark brown. Cobblestones properly selected and laid up are 
very artistic, but the use of native materials like any other good thing can be easily over¬ 
worked. One must have a good understanding of the “eternal fitness of things” or a rustic 
effect among things of another style will look out of place. The living room is large and 
well lighted, connecting to the dining room by a large arch. The dining room is paneled 
and ceiling beamed and the extra large built-in buffet directly opposite the square bay 
window adds a pleasing touch to this attractive room.

309—Search far and wide and it would be hard to find a better looking or more 
satisfactory bungalow than this for two or three people. Rough brick for the large outside 
chimney and the four porch columns add a pleasing touch to the otherwise plain exterior. 
The living room is at the left on entering the reception hall and the dining room on the right, 
the former having a wide entrance with pillars and arch and the latter arranged with sliding

247-A—The use of brick and cement for the foundation and upper story, respec¬ 
tively, with siding sandwiched in, makes the outside of the house very pleasing in appear¬ 
ance. The porch extends nearly across the front of the house and has a large square 
timber for a support at either corner. The braces protrude through the verge board rather 
than appearing beneath it. Entering the living room from the porch, one finds the mantel on 
the outer wall, affording opportunity for an attractive chimney of rough brick without. There 
is a broad arch leading to the dining room, which is beamed and has a square window at 
the side with seat beneath. Back of the kitchen is a good-sized porch and a pretty built-in 
breakfast nook. A hall connects the bed rooms with the dining room and bath room. 



An attractive bungalow is a good investment.

400—In every way this is a characteristic bungalow. It has the wide, overhanging 
roof and rafter ends exposed. The design is an original one, presenting a broad front to 
the street. The porch wall and column and the outside of the fireplace are laid up with 
cobblestones, which look especially well in a design like this. The dimensions are twenty- 
six by forty feet, not including the rear porch. Every possible convenience is provided for 
all rooms. The arch between the front rooms contains built-in bookcases with adjustable 
shelves. The dining room fireplace has a tile face. On one side is a lounging seat and 
on the other a low buffet with casement windows above. The pantry cupboard and work 
shelf have paneled doors, drawers and bins. The kitchen and bath room have an enameled 
plaster finish to a height of five feet in imitation white tile. The house is well finished 
throughout and answers in every detail the requirements of a small family.

446—With five rooms on one floor, this bungalow is one of the most attractive de¬ 
signs we show in this book. It is laid out in the most simple manner possible, with the 
living room occupying the entire front. The living and dining rooms have oak floors, pan¬ 
eled walls and beam ceilings. There is an unusual arrangement of the bed room hall, 
removing the former from any noise in the rest of the house. The kitchen is of good size 
and convenient. In addition to the regular fixtures, it has a large built-in ventilated cooler. 
This house has a more graceful and finished appearance than many of the rustic bungalows.

559—Five good rooms arranged in a very compact plan. The exterior is of wide 
and narrow boards alternate. The porch walls and buttresses of clinker brick are fine bits 
of design, and are built to last forever. The living room has beam ceiling. The fireplace 
is at the end opposite the entrance door flanked on one side with a seat and on the other by 
a neat bookcase. Both the bed rooms are convenient to the bath room and each room is 
provided with a roomy closet.

278-B—Many original ideas are apparent in this bungalow, more on the exterior 
than within, which follows one of the most satisfactory designs. The curved arch of the 
cozy little porch entrance and the concrete columns passing through the roof and slightly 
curved at the ends are the first distinctive parts to impress the observer. The front door 
is largely of glass, with diamond-shaped panes of large size. The windows beside it are 
long and narrow and also have the diamond pane, as do the upper sashes of the front and 
side windows. The living room extends across the full width of the house and gets the 
light from the wide windows on either side of the door, and from the door itself. There 
is a small porch off the kitchen. Note the compact arrangement of the bedroom closets 
and cellar stairway.

307—Giving a foothold for all manner of climbing vine, the clinker brick chimney 
and porch columns of this bungalow provide a touch of nature which relieves the otherwise 
severe lines of the place. A broad, deep porch sets into the front of the house and leads 
into a good-sized living room, with fireplace on the outer wall. Passing through the wide 
opening, one enters the dining room, where the eye is immediately struck by the appearance 
of size and features of the finish. A dark-green stain for all the woodwork, with a light 
burlap or Japanese paper on the walls between narrow panel strips, has been employed in 
the finish of this room with the best of results. The housewife is impressed by the large 
bed room closets—more than seven feet deep with a wide shelf along the side.

446-A—Very similar in plan and general lines to No. 446 but providing a shingle 
roof for those who cannot approve of the patent roofing. It is neat and inexpensive and 
one of the most useful of bungalow plans. The entire porch is finished in stucco while the 
house proper is siding to the heavy watertable and shingles above. The fireplace wall of 
the living room is utilized to the full, having leaded glass bookcases on either side and 
ornate high sash above. 


The planning of a bungalow home is an art.

321-A—This is one of our most popular low priced bungalows and has the appear¬ 
ance of costing several hundred dollars more than it really does. Avoiding a stuffy vesti¬ 
bule, entrance is made directly into the living room. The house has only four rooms, 
but all are of good size and provide ample space for a small family. The more the plan 

is studied, the more one appreciates the conveniences o f this compact little home. The Estimated cost .$2,600.00

61 6—An exceptionally attractive exterior, very similar to 32 I -A on opposite page, 
using in its makeup several ordinary materials in very unusual and striking ways. It requires 
careful study to conceive a design such as this, but it is time well spent. Wherever this 
bungalow is built it cannot fail to attract much favorable comment. The floor plan is as 
convenient and roomy as a five-room house of this size can be made, and it contains many 
features which will appeal to the prospective home builder. Notably the entry, which is a 
necessity in the Northern and Eastern states. The built-in fixtures consist of a very pretty 
colonnade between living room and dining room and a buffet in the latter, seats in entry 
and dining room, and ample cabinet space in kitchen, as well as the usual medicine case in 
the bath. The open fireplace is large and is built on correct principles for the elimination of 
the smoke nuisance.

341—Stone properly used can help wonderfully in the attractiveness of a house de¬ 
sign. This bungalow has its porch work and chimney of the rough cut sandstone laid up 
in black cement mortar and the use of this material has given the house the necessary touch 
of light to set off the rather dark stain of the re-sawed cedar siding. Flower boxes enhance 
the beauty of the design. The floor plan illustrates an especially good arrangement, two 
of the best parts being the large living room, 12 feet by 23 feet, with fireplace, seat and 
bookcases, and the attractive Pullman diner off the kitchen. Two other features about 
this house which are rather unusual in a bungalow of this size are the coat closet off the 
front room and the location of the basement stairway which is so placed that if an attic is 
to be finished at any time, a stairway can be installed without disturbing the ground floor 
plan.

308-B—This house is built on rather severe lines, but the combination of the brick 
porchwork, with heavy chains connecting the posts, and square timbers running to the edge 
of the roof, makes an excellent impression. The front of the house below the gable as far 
as the porch is of plaster with a small amount of paneling. The balance of the house to 
the masonry work is siding. The interior includes a vestibule which is practically part of 
the living room, so hospitable is the doorway between, but which is apart sufficiently to 
keep the dirt and litter from the main room. The mantel is of pressed brick, the dark and 
light tones alternating. The dining room has a big window seat. The kitchen is well 
$2,600.00 provided with cupboards and a neat Pullman breakfast nook is in an alcove at the rear.

are of selected clinker brick. The verge boards are especially heavy, being in one piece 
three inches thick and fourteen inches wide. The lifting of the gable points is a fine sug¬ 
gestion. Details are included with the plans for fireplace, the china closets in the buttresses

277—A snappy design, this, with the four large columns of the porch and double 
pergola suggesting in miniature the imposing colonial or southern mansion. While adding 
dignity, these columns do not detract from the cozy appearance of the bungalow. This 
is enhanced by the broad seats at either side of the wide entrance. The artistic merit of 
the pillars is doubled by their graduated base and cap blocks. A dainty little reception 
hall is found after passing through the door with the living room on one hand and the 
dining room on the other. The fireplace is in the dining room, necessitating only one 
chimney for the mantel and the kitchen range as well. The bath room can be reached

41 I—This bungalow is entirely new' and original in design. The exterior is com- 
posed of several very ordinary elements, so that the builder secures an extraordinary bunga¬ 
low at an exceedingly low cost. The use of clinker brick and resawed cedar siding makes 
this bungalow very pleasing in appearance. The porch floor is cement, as are also the 
wide steps. The interior is just as pleasing in appearance as the exterior. A small entry 
leads to the living room, which has a fireplace on the outer wall, affording a foothold for 
clinging vines without. The arch between the living room and dining room contains two 
built-in china closets with adjustable shelves. The kitchen is just the right size, with 
cabinets on two sides, with sink beneath the window, affording a flood of ight. The base¬ 
ment stairs lead from kitchen, which is an important item in cold weather.

42 I-A—This bungalow, though not large, possesses pleasing characteristics. The 
walls are covered with rough cedar siding, stained a dark brown, and the casings, brackets, 
and posts are trimmed in white. The five rooms afford sufficient accommodations for a 
medium-sized family, and the finish is such that the occupant can be proud of his home. 
The rooms are large, and better laid out than the average bungalow, also having more of the 
modern conveniences. The arch between the dining and living rooms is designed for service 
as well as for looks, containing a bookcase having adjustable shelves. The top of the 
bookcase is 5 ^ feet high and carries heavy, square pillars which support an arch between 
the rooms. The screened sleeping porch is large enough for a full sized bed.

kitchen, and two bedrooms, are arranged about the pass hall in such a way that the greatest 
economy of space is obtained. The kitchen is equipped with ample cabinet space and a 
neat built-in breakfast table and seats. The grade entry is a fine feature of this plan, 
providing, as it does, an outside entrance to the basement, as well as enabling the architect 
to do away with the interior stairway, as the entry is capable of being closed in. The 
exterior above the brick base is shingles, laid double courses, nine inches to weather.

A good home is a debt every man owes his wife. PAGE EIGHTY-NINE 











































































^50 A ground space 26 feet by 34 feet has seldom produced a better four-room 
arrangement than is here illustrated. The exterior is one that has never failed to call out 
favorable comment. The cement stuccoed skirting contrasts well with the stained shingles 
and woodwork. The four rooms are so grouped around the pass hall that one can readily 
reach any room in the house, except the dining room without passing through any other 
room. The kitchen is well provided with cabinet space and china closet and book cases are 
built in the buttresses of the dining room and living room arch. The old-fashioned closet 
in the bedroom has given way to the up-to-date wardrobe where the articles you want are 
not covered up by a dozen that you do not want. The splendid sleeping porch is worthy of 
mention—all the fresh air that you can possibly desire is yours.

746—A snug and cozy little home of five rooms requiring a lot not less than forty 
feet wide. The front porch nestling under the sloping roof, 6 -0” wide and 2 1 -0” long, is 
fine. The outside walls are covered with rough siding to the watertable and red cedar 
shingles laid alternate wide and narrow courses to the weather above. The rooms are so 
arranged that three have an outlook to the front, which makes the plan especially desirable 
for a lot having a good view in this direction. The bathroom has the Craftsman feature 
of medicine case with mirror door between two windows. The living room has a very 
pretty fireplace of burlap brick. 


A low bid is not always the cheapest.

747—We do not hesitate to say that the plan shown here will fill the requirements 
of a great number of prospective home builders and prove to be one of our most popular 
designs, as we have combined in it an exterior similar to that of the most popular home we 
ever put out, and a floor plan that cannot be excelled in the ground space the same size 
or for the expenditure of a like amount of money. The large living room with its attractive 
fireplace of brick and the grouping of the remaining rooms about the hall are the features 
we know will appeal to all. We would suggest that those interested in this design study 
also those shown on pages 20 and 21 before making their decision.

45 3-A—The easy sloping roof and double gables give this design the hospitable 
appearance so much desired in the home exterior. By the use of several very ordinary 
elements, the builder is able to construct a house at a cost that is far less than one would 
think at a first glance. The porch foundation, pedestals and railing are cement blocks, 
and the fireplace is built of clinker brick pointed up with black mortar. The interior is a 
standard, five-room plan and is used more than any plan shown in this book.

742—Here is another popular plan of five rooms. Note the large size of the rooms 
and convenience of arrangement. The exterior is covered with rough six-inch lap cedar 
siding, and the trim is of surfaced fir. The floors in all rooms are of number one fir and the 
finish is slash grain fir stained in living and dining room. Bathroom and bedrooms are in 
white enamel. Ample cupboard space is provided in the kitchen, assuring plenty of 
storage for provisions and utensils. The design of the large fireplace is one that assures 
a maximum of heat in the room with no smoke. The details show a mantel that looks fine 
in burlap brick. It is truly the heart of the home.

743—This neat little bungalow has a substantial appearance not very often found 
in a house that costs as little as this one. The combination dining room and living room 
occupies practically the entire front, sharing the honor only with the porch, which is 6'-0" 
by 9'-0". The fireplace is at the opposite end of the room and in plain view from the front 
door, extending a prompt and cheerful welcome to all comers. There is a coat closet for 
the wraps and the other closets are so placed that they do not take up any extra space, and 
at the same time are provided with windows for light and ventilation. The kitchen is 
well arranged. 


Have your bed rooms finished in light colors.

744—The exterior design is simple but artistic and so composed of several very 
ordinary elements that the builder secures a very good looking bungalow at an extremely 
low cost. Washington red cedar shingles laid in courses alternating wide and narrow 
are used above the watertable, while six-inch rough cedar siding acts as the skirting below. 
The plan is very similar to that on the preceding page. The living room is I I '-6" x 25 -6'\ 
not including the bay window. The bedrooms are both of good size and each is supplied 
with a large closet. The kitchen plan is one of the best.

home of five rooms. The walls are of four-inch cedar lap siding and the roof is shingled. 
The porch is at the corner with the entrance door at the side of the living room. The 
dining room directly back of the porch is conveniently located in regard to kitchen and 
hall. More than the usual number of closets are provided, including besides the regular 
bedroom closets a place for lmen and one for wraps. The basement stair is well arranged 
both for interior and exterior use. A lot not less than forty feet, and the wider the better, 
is required for this bungalow.

No. 456-A—THE CEMENT STUCCO BELOW THE WATERTABLE IS A PLEASING BIT OF DESIGN 




























456-A—This has proved to be a very popular plan on account of its porch treat¬ 
ment. The four rooms are arranged to get the largest amount of room and provide for 
a screened porch in the rear. The exterior walls below the watertable and the porch 
pedestals are cement stucco on metal lath. Above this the walls are cedar shingles laid 
six inches to the weather about one inch apart. The head casing of the windows is carried 
around the house as a belt course. 



456-B—A five-room plan, twenty-four feet by thirty- 
six feet, with a cement floored basement under the rear half 
of the building. In exterior appearance the same as 456-A, 
and also the same in construction and finish, except that the 
front porch and steps are wood instead of cement. The 
rooms are all of good size and are well arranged, every bit 
of space being utilized. The screened porch is large and 
provides a splendid place for the refrigerator.

745—Another good arrangement with porch the full width of the front and six feet 
in depth. This certainly will hit some people in the right place if past experience in small 
house planning tells us anything. Not counting the porch, the ground area is 24 feet by 
34 feet, and in it has been arranged four fine rooms, counting the great living room as one. 
A point in favor of this plan is the entry which protects the living room from the wet and 
dampness and provides a place for wraps. The exterior walls are covered with shingles 
laid six inches to the weather and stained above the watertable and rough siding, also 
stained, below.

outside construction is resawed siding and is stained a dark brown. Note the handy 
arrangement of the floor plan in every bit of available space being used. Avoiding a 
stuffy vestibule, the entrance leads directly into the living room. The happy part of the 
interior is the dining room, which has beam ceiling, panel wainscoting, and a beautiful 
built-in buffet.

But we know whereof we speak. For those who want a home that contains the latest 
features, combined with an unbeatable plan, we repeat that you cannot make a mistake 
if you decide on this, our number Eight Forty-Nine. If you are building with the inten¬ 
tion of selling, you will find that the design pictured will sell practically on sight. The 
rooms are well provided with the different built-in conveniences, including a breakfast nook 
and a handsome mantel. The utmost possible use is made of every available inch of 
space, and, considering the size of the house, the rooms are of splendid size.

interior is well planned and provides a den, with a disappearing bed arranged so that it 
can be used as a chamber. A small hall makes the bath very accessible from any part 
of the house. The plan calls for a cement basement 24 feet square.

303—A living room that embodies every idea of that term is a notable part of this 
cozy little bungalow. The room is 1 6 feet square and is a combined living and dining 
room. The corner opposite the stone or brick mantel is devoted to the buffet, fitting into 
the wall and leaving a wide expanse of room for the round mission table. This, when 
not in use for dining purposes, may be protected with a bit of drawn work or embroid¬ 
ered centerpiece, and with a fern dish or flower bowl will make a very attractive bit of 
the room furniture. A large corner bed room opens from the living room, while another 
door leads into the hall connecting the second bed chamber with the kitchen and bath 
room. A rear porch provides space for the ice chest and the entry to the basement.

45 I -A—Here is a bungalow bargain that has been built many times by speculative 
builders everywhere. It contains many features that the home buyer wants and wherever 
built looks that it cost several hundred dollars more than it really did. The living room 
and dining room are of good size. Note the amount of closet space this little house pro¬ 
vides. The exterior is beveled siding as high as the watertable with cedar shingles above. 
The plan does not provide for any inside stairway to the basement, but if desired one can 
easily be arranged to go where pantry is marked on plans.

349—This is the smallest and least expensive semi-Colonial cottage we illustrate in 
this edition, but notwithstanding its size it has several features that are worthy of a more 
elaborate design. The attractive hooded entrance flanked by the seats is a fine thing, and 
the appropriately molded corner boards are thoroughly in keeping. The cozy window seat 
is arranged with book cases at either end in the living room. This room is intended to be 
used as a dining room as well, when occasion requires, and is amply large. The bedrooms 
are supplied with recess wall beds behind double French doors, an effect which really 
should be seen to be appreciated. The bedroom closets are nested in beside the bed 
recesses. The linen closet is in the hall.

326—The photograph of this little bungalow shows what can be done for a small 
amount of money. While our estimates of cost will not apply in some parts of the East, 
the writer has just completed in Seattle, this cozy little home at the exact cost here esti¬ 
mated. For a small family we cannot recommend this design too strongly. Note the 
fact that in this plan you do not have to go through the bed room to get to the bath 
room from the dining room and that the door of the bath room is not directly opposite the 
dining room door. Note also the way the bed room wardrobe and the kitchen cabinet 
are dovetailed to save space.

45 5-A—Four rooms—living room, kitchen and two bedrooms,

nook is conveniently located in kitchen. The outside is rather plain, six- 
inch rough siding, stained dark brown; but, when the grass and flowers 
are up, this home will present a very attractive picture. The front porch 
shown in cement, is a variation made by the builder from our plans, which 
call for a wood floor. Do not forget to order by number. This is

convenient one—the builder gets the maximum amount of usefulness for the lowest possible 
cost. The four rooms are grouped about the central chimney in such a way that a stove 
can be placed in both dining room and bed room, as well as in the kitchen, thus assuring a 
warm home at all times. At a slight additional cost a fireplace can be built in the end 
of the living room, where the three windows are, that would add much to the homelike 
appearance of the room.

WHAT OTHERS SAY 


In the past seventeen years thousands of bungalows have been 
built from my plans, in every state of the Union and in several 
foreign countries, including France, Australia, Panama and Cuba. 
They have given universal satisfaction, providing their owners with 
attractive, modern and comfortable homes. I have planned them 
of every size and type, and of all materials and combinations of 
materials. 

When you build your home, why not incorporate in your plans 
some of the many built-in features which I have devised to make 
housework a pleasure rather than a drudgery? And use a design 
that will be a source of pride not only to you, who know the in¬ 
terior, but to those who are merely passersby. 

Note the following letters, where they come from, and what 
they have to say. Your plans would be the same. Scarcely a mail 
fails to bring its quota of similar messages. 

“Yours at hand and contents noted, also the plans came in good 
condition. We thank you for your pains and certainly you have 
“drawn a house” this time. We have studied the new plans very 
thoroughly and have not as yet found one objectionable feature and 
you could not have drawn it nearer to our ideas, if you had been 
here with us. Thanking you once more and with best Christmas 
wishes, I beg to remain,” 

LUCIEN E. ROUSE, Torrington, Conn . 

“I am living in the house you planned for me and like it very 
much. I want to build another small bungalow” * * * 

H. E. CONNER, Akron, Ohio. 

“I could not begin to tell you how well pleased I am with the 
plans which I received the” * * * * 

MRS. FRANK M. DAVIS, Richmond, Mo. 

“Plans came last night, many thanks; am much pleased with 
them.” S. J. GARDINER, Clarkson, Ont. 

“I beg to acknowledge receipt of your most excellent plans for 
bungalow, as per order. They far exceed my expectations. In fact, 
I hardly see how it is possible for you to furnish, for the price, so 
perfect a set of blueprints with specifications. I am most pleased, 
as is also my husband.” JANE G. ROEBER, Richmond, Va. 

“Acknowledge receipt of blueprints and specifications of plan 
No. 524, and am very much pleased with same.” 

JOSEPH T. SLAVIN, Baltimore, Md. 


“Am sending you a post card with picture of a bungalow I 
built for myself from one of your plans. Found the working plans 
easy to build from and am well pleased with the house.” 

O. E. WAGNER, Enterprise, Oregon. 

Sometimes my plans so please the client that he expresses him¬ 
self very emphatically. The following two letters are from one who 
purchased five sets of plans in a space of very few months: 

“Our house, No. 327, is a regular picture and seems to be the 
talk of the town or else everybody’s kidding me. * * * * The 
house itself is a wonder for beauty.” * * * 

J. R. SUPPLE, Kalamazoo, Mich . 

“Received your ‘toney’ plans, No. 659, this afternoon. * * * * 
These plans are so beautiful that I am going to build the house on a 
lot three times as large and location of the best in town.” 

J. R. SUPPLE, Kalamazoo, Mich. 


Mr. J. S. Andrews, of Tampa, Florida, is evidently a very busy 
man; he generally telegraphs when he wants plans. At various 
times he has purchased six entirely different plans—not a plan has 
been returned. 

It is not always what they say to me that counts. Mr. Paul 
C. Murphy, of Portland, Oregon, has purchased a large number of 
plans. Mr. F. C. Ives, of Rutland, Vermont, is one of those who 
looks before he leaps. He says in one of his letters: 

“I am pleased to inform you that I received a letter from Mr. 
Paul C. Murphy, of Portland, Oregon, in which he says, * * * Q f 
them all we found that Mr. Yoho’s designs were by far the most 
attractive as well as more practical from the standpoint of floor 
plans, and so far we have used his plans almost exclusively in the 
erection of some fifty bungalows.’ ” * * * 

I have recently completed a splendid special design for Mr. Ives. 

Space and modesty prohibit any more of these, but I wish it 
understood that any plans purchased from me carry also the privilege 
of consultation in regard to the construction or finishing of any part 
of the bungalow; in fact, your entire satisfaction is what I want. 

Cordially, 

YOHO & MERRITT
